Chimps Deserve Better

We are a group of animal activists, whistleblowers, and friends of chimps advocating for high quality care at the Project Chimps sanctuary. #ChimpsDeserveBetter

Happy & Patty have spent over 45 years imprisoned at the Bronx Zoo in a barren 1-acre enclosure. Both elephants are held alone, without the necessary companionship of other elephants. It’s time for the @BronxZoo & @theWCS to #FreeHappy & #FreePatty to an elephant sanctuary.

[Chimps Deserve Better @chimps_better]

Attn @TheWCS ex-officio trustees @NYCSpeakerAdams, @bronxbp @NYCComptroller, @ReynosoBrooklyn, & @NYCMayor. The @BronxZoo is holding two elephants, each alone, on a tiny 1-acre lot. Please call for the zoo to #FreeHappy and #FreePatty to a sanctuary that can meet their needs.

@projectchimps You have misidentified your chimps. Jennifer is on the left, but Gertrude is on the right. The least you can do is know your own chimps. And give photo credit to @CrystalAlba1 while you're at it. #ChimpsDeserveBetter

[Project Chimps @projectchimps]

Jennifer isn’t one of our most famous residents, but we wanted to bring #JenniferChimp into the spotlight. If you read this blog, you’ll find out why we consider Jenny a chimp hero! https://t.co/w4emtlzhgw

After a 1.5 year campaign calling for better care and living conditions at #ProjectChimps, the
@HumaneSociety has pledged $20 million to the sanctuary. This is not the end-all solution, but a step in the right direction. Read our full statement here. #ChimpsDeserveBetter

Neal deserved a sanctuary retirement where he received comprehensive medical care, an individualized diet, and daily outdoor habitat access. #ProjectChimps didn’t provide any of this. #ChimpsDeserveBetter

[Animal Rights News @theirturn]

After spending the vast majority of his time over the past 2 years in a concrete room, Neal, a chimp in his 20s, was found dead at @HumaneSociety "sanctuary" Project Chimps. Whistleblowers describe his neglect: https://t.co/IK0eEdQfqI @JaneGoodallInst @chimpfreq @NonhumanRights

@theirturn @HumaneSociety @CharityNav @peta @MarcGunther @DxEverywhere @MercyForAnimals @HSUSKittyBlock @boemerson @Jennifer__Brett @CynthVonBuhler @dads_garage @PetSmartChariTs @VegNews When will the people in power - like @ambercnash who is on the Board of #ProjectChimps - fight for the chimps' best interests and push the sanctuary to invest in creating more outdoor habitat space and building more villas to accommodate the chimps? #ChimpsDeserveBetter

[Chimps Deserve Better @chimps_better]

It shouldn't take activists pleading for better conditions at @projectchimps for chimps to receive the retirement they deserve. It's the responsibility of PC's leadership and @HumaneSociety to invest their resources in providing high-quality care, including daily habitat access.

[Animal Rights News @theirturn]

During heated protests in 4 cities, #AnimalRights activists called on the @HumaneSociety to build habitats at #ProjectChimps so that the 82 chimps in their care have daily access to the outdoors. #ChimpsDeserveBetter cc: @chimpfreq @napsaprimates @GFASsanctuary @NonhumanRights

[Animal Rights News @theirturn]

HSUS must create habitat spaces at its @projectchimps sanctuary so that the 77 chimps have daily access to the outdoors. Many arrived in 2016/2017 after spending years in labs, yet they continue to languish in concrete rooms. https://t.co/OAkGTECRvk #ChimpsDeserveBetter @peta

@liberiachimps do lifesaving work for the most vulnerable chimps in Liberia. It’s a shame that they have been excluded from #GivingDayForApes today. Please show them love by donating much needed funds!!!

[Samuel Peña @SamPenaTV]

Multiple whistleblowers accused Project Chimps of unsanitary living conditions for chimpanzees. To raise awareness they put up a billboard in Fannin County, Georgia.

[Chimps Deserve Better @chimps_better]

Many thanks to @newschannelnine @SamPenaWTVC for covering the billboard animal activists erected to raise awareness of issues at #ProjectChimps. It's time for @projectchimps and @HumaneSociety to provide daily habitat access for each chimp at the sanctuary. #ChimpsDeserveBetter

[WTVC NewsChannel 9 @newschannelnine]

NEW: Activists have raised concerns about living conditions for chimpanzees at a sanctuary in Fannin County, Georgia.

@SamPenaWTVC has the story: https://t.co/JBO1ZXBTju

ICYMI…this well placed billboard greets visitors to the HSUS facility, Project Chimps, asking the question, SANCTUARY OR WAREHOUSE? Until the chimps get daily outdoor access instead of once every 3 days, we think it’s the latter. #chimpsdeservebetter

How can advocates convince the @HumaneSociety to treat the animals in their care humanely if the people at the top of #HSUS just don't care? #ChimpsDeserveBetter cc: @missjudygreer @thekatvond @ambercnash @CathyKangas2 @StrayDogCapital @AAVS_AAVS @IPS_PrimateNews @ARCrusade

[Animal Rights News @theirturn]

The @HumaneSociety has raised millions off of captive chimps. It has the resources to transform its #ProjectChimps facility into a true sanctuary. It doesn't, however, have any incentive to do so. Will chimpanzee sanctuaries join activists in speaking out? https://t.co/AvJjdWUODd

@HumaneSociety YOU ARE ACCOUNTABLE! #chimpsdeservebetter
